==Charge/power controllers==
===LTC4156===
* Pro
** I2C/SMBus Control and Status Feedback
** Dual input
* Con
** Both inputs 5v
** LiFePO4 batteries only
===LTC4155===
* Pro
** Dual input
** I2C/SMBus Control and Status Feedback
** PowerPath allows instant-on while charging
** Up to 3A input from wall adaptor
* Con
** Both inputs 5v
===LTC4098===
* Pro
** Dual input
** Designed to operate from USB 5v and 30v external inputs
** High efficiency ~93%
* Con
** <30v external input requires external LT3653 chip (seems to put out 5v, so could be used on other chips? 1.2A), lowering charging efficiency (80-86%)
** No I2C

Initial findings presuming 800mA-1000mA per output.
Initial findings presuming 800mA-1000mA per output. I2C less important here if power controller can monitor current use.

====LTC3417====
* Pro
** 2.25V to 5.5V input
** 1.4A output
** 95% efficient
* Con
** No I2C, only power-good logic output pin
===Triple output===
===Triple output===
====ADP5020====
600, 250 and 150mA outputs. Up to 93% efficiency.
I2C appears for control, not monitoring.
